I had a cold chill run down my body reading Ashira's name at first glance.
I think those "waves" are still there going Eastbound..I've almost fallen a few times going past them...Hope those weren't to blame for it.

What's the point getting mad if you won't do anything?

Just what was tweeted that "villany" saw a body in a body bag when passing.
Nothing on the news or on popo scanners.

too many cyclists going down... when are we going to do something?

Apparently LAist called the LAFD and NO ambulance has been dispatched to that area...
I hope it's all just a misunderstanding.

No report of an ambulance sent 2 SM/Vine, cyclist fatality not confirmed.
Sorry I confused people by posting Ashira's name at the beginning. She was the one who first posted the question.

Damn Borfo!!! Freaked me out when I read that!! Hope this is a misunderstanding as far as someone being killed.

I think we have to be careful about posting these things and about READING them, as well. Rumors can get started really easily & can be potentially damaging/worrisome. I'm actually wondering if the tweet came from the OG post? How long after Borfo's post was that tweet? We *need* these posts as they inform/help/energize us but we have to be very vigilant & responsible about the way that we consume them, also. Just a thought.

I spoke to someone who said their coworker saw the aftermath of the crash. From what she said, the white sheet was not covering a dead body but actually was being used to cover the person while they changed their clothes (her words not mine). I don't know i wasn't there, but according to the witness, the cyclist was okay and was moving around just fine. In any case, it sounds like it is a false alarm. LAFD has no reports of an ambulance being sent to the scene so my guess is this report is a bit more accurate.

i think ppl freaked out cause it had her full name + her middle name.
it sounded very official/ specific.
i'm glad nobody died.
Thanks for being our eyes and ears joe.
you are often the first to report breaking bike news.

better to repeat misinformation than to spread disinformation.

yeah I apologize for the misinformation. I should have made a different title or put a question mark and omitted ashira's name. I was rushing.

i passed this yesterday and saw the guy laying in the road with only one fire car there and his bike was being pulled off of him.it was a purple mountain bike,no spoke cards,with a tacoed back rim.it looked as if he was hit from behind.i saw gause pads on his face but no body bags.he wasnt moving at all.i dont think the waves caused it.

Nevertheless, this was a cycling related accident and hopefully not a hit and run.
